| Abstract | In this research study, the polynomial degree of shape functions is reduced in such a way that
only second degree polynomials are employed by using the shear force conditions and the governing
equation. Such shape functions are applied to solve any type of thin plates based on a principle of
virtual work in conjunction with finite elements. The skew and non-skew plates under a uniformly
distributed load, having a variety of support conditions, are investigated. The analysis is made by
employing a parental elemen~ inside the plate domain and rings of satellite elements along the plate
boundary. For non-skew plates, the results obtained show close agreement with available results
and good convergence characteristics as the mesh of the satellite elements becomes finer. The results
do not show close agreement with available results in case of skew plates. |
